Full Time Carer

What can a full-time carer agency in London offer?

A full-time carer agency in London such as Guardian Carers can provide you with private full time carers that allow you to remain in the home you love, surrounded by the people you love and the memories you have created for as long as possible. Here at Guardian Carers, our full-time carers for the elderly are tailored specifically to you and your individual requirements. Your private full-time carer can help you with almost anything from personal care and wellbeing to household chores or simply there to exchange stories over a cup of tea!

Being in the care industry for over 14 years, we understand that every individual is unique and requires different levels of support, which is why we have available a range of different types of care packages. We are able to offer you private full-time care as Live In or Live Out. Live-In care, is the most comprehensive home care as should you need, care can be offered as round the clock, 24-hour care 7 days a week. Typically live-in care is the step before entering into care or residential homes.

Private full-time care can also be available on a temporary basis, for instance, if your current carer has time off if you have just had an operation and need some assistance while you recover.

Guardian Carers can also provide specialised care for those who are battling long term progressive illnesses such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. Dealing with an illness can be extremely overwhelming and unsettling and we believe there is no place like home when recovering or going through life-altering changes. We can provide you with carers with medical training and nursing qualifications to ensure you are able to receive the right support whilst remaining in your home.

Ensuring your security for your peace of mind

Having a private full-time carer home gives your loved ones the added peace of mind that you are in safe, capable and experienced hands. Having an extra able-bodied adult within the home adds another level of security. A private full-time carer assures that there is someone on hand if you should have a fall at any point of the day and it also deters any uninvited visitors.

They are also able to guide you through the changes that happen within yourself, provide you with reassurance and an understanding shoulder to lean on. Having someone in your home that you know you can rely on to be there in the difficult times, to be a source of comfort and support is an essential part of private full-time care.
